Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 152: Demon Beast Nemesis, True Damage! (April Additional - for 2500 Monthly Tickets)
"Mm..."
Lin Yue opened her sleepy eyes, subconsciously turning her head to glance at the window cracked open to let in the dawn light, which quickly focused her somewhat scattered gaze.
She was now quite adept at propping herself up in bed with one hand, allowing her to sit up. She then gathered her disheveled long hair, fully revealing her pale and delicate face.
Picking up the cellphone on the bedside table, Lin Yue quickly entered the Dream Realm Forum.
The post at the very top made her pretty brows and eyes momentarily tighten.
"Shocking! The first kill of the district's Spiritual Beast has been captured!"
The post recounted the achievement she and Luo had made by defeating the Rapid Freeze Bird.
After the Challenge Success, such a sterling record naturally appeared on their Spiritual Beast List profile, and as they had moved between districts last night, players from several districts noticed, sparking a great deal of discussion.
After all, the conditions for advancing to the Elite Rank had just been disclosed not long ago, and to most players such advancement criteria seemed utterly unattainable.
Looking at the discussions below the post, Lin Yue's previously furrowed brows and eyes gradually relaxed, a hint of pride shining through.
This was an achievement she had reached together with Luo!
Although she was well aware that Luo's intervention was the primary factor, it did not prevent her from feeling elated.
Memories of their time together last night flashed through Lin Yue's mind, and she thought again of the boy's eyes, bright and firm like stars.
A blush crept quietly onto her fair cheeks as Lin Yue let her thoughts wander.
I wonder what Luo is like in real life?
She remembered Luo once mentioning that his appearance in the Dream World was different from his real-world appearance.
But no matter how different the looks, the eyes should be similar.
She was somewhat looking forward to seeing those eyes in reality.
Yet when her gaze fell upon her own legs, Lin Yue's smile quickly faded.
It was not yet time.
"Creak~"
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Lin Changfeng entered with a beaming smile, "Yueyue, I just asked Doctor Qu, and your examination results have improved a lot from last time!"
"I know," Lin Yue replied with a smile as she pressed her lips together.
She knew her body better than anyone else.
"Have you been reading a lot lately?" Sitting beside Lin Yue's bed, Lin Changfeng saw a neat stack of college entrance exam materials by the bedside and looked at her with a touch of concern, "You haven't recovered yet, so you need to rest more."
"Dad, I understand," Lin Yue said, smiling at her father. "Don't worry, I'm in control. I won't joke with my health."
Lin Changfeng nodded, aware that his daughter always had her own opinions and that this had only become more pronounced after her illness. So he didn't press further and instead smiled and asked, "Which university do you want to apply to?"
"I remember when you were in middle school, I took you to Huaqing to see your Uncle Liu. You were particularly interested in the laboratories there, touching this and looking at that, and you even said that you wanted to attend Huaqing in the future," Lin Changfeng recalled with a smile.
"Yueyue, is Huaqing still your goal?"
"Maybe Yan University," Lin Yue's eyes slightly dropped, avoiding her father's somewhat surprised gaze, "Sister Xiaoyu is at Yan University, and I often hear her talking about it. I'm quite interested in it."
"Besides, it would make it convenient for Sister Xiaoyu to continue my treatment," she added.
"I see," Lin Changfeng said, nodding his head with an enlightened expression, "Studying at Yan University would indeed be beneficial for your treatment."
"I've heard that Yan University has a new Cultivation Method called 'Unnamed Breathing Skill,' which doesn't require boxing practice and might be something you could try."
Lin Changfeng showed an expectant look, "If it hadn't been for the fact that you couldn't learn 'Basic Boxing Skill,' your recovery might have been even faster."
"It's okay, I'll get better," Lin Yue extended her right hand and took hold of her father's, "Look, Dad. I can already move one hand."
"I know, I know," Lin Changfeng gently patted Lin Yue's hand, "Let me talk to the admissions office at Yan University."
With pride on his face, he said, "My daughter is so outstanding, she deserves some special consideration! If not direct admission, at least a reduced-score acceptance!"
"Dad~" Lin Yue's eyes sparkled with a smile.
She didn't mention how, based on her recent performance on college entrance exam practice tests, getting into Yan University wouldn't be difficult.
Sometimes, a father needs an opportunity to prove he's still the hero from their child's younger days, the towering figure who could do anything.
And that's not a bad thing.

"Mr. Ji."
Arriving at the mission location, the desolate mountains on the eastern outskirts of Changxing City, escorted by members of the Special Affairs Group, Qin Chuan quickly spotted Ji Huai's figure and hastened to greet him.
Seeing Qin Chuan, who had changed into a new outfit, wearing a black mask and donning a black trench coat, a hint of amusement flickered in Ji Huai's eyes, "...you?"
"I am Black Flame," Qin Chuan took the initiative to continue.
Ji Huai: "..."
This guy, changing his identity again.
Despite the fact that the majority of the Special Affairs Group was well aware of Qin Chuan's true identity, he persisted in disguising himself for every collaborative mission.
And each time, it was a different persona.
When using Water Attribute powers, he was "Bajie" behind a Sun Wukong mask.
When using Ice Attribute powers, he was "Frost Blade" behind a pure white mask.
Now, with a new identity, he probably contracted a third Spiritual Beast.
However, it was precisely Qin Chuan's somewhat childish behavior that kept reminding Ji Huai, setting aside the aura of the strongest Transcendent in Changxing City, the person standing before him was just an eighteen-year-old boy, his youth not yet shed, his enthusiasm not yet cooled.
"Let's go." Ji Huai turned and headed deeper into the desolate mountain.
By the time he arrived, Qin Chuan had already learned the details.
Four Third Rank Demon Beasts were hidden in this desolate mountain; besides the strongest one at level 28, the other three were generally around level 23.
With Ji Huai's strength, he could deal with those three simultaneously, or just the level 28 Demon Beast on his own, but not both at the same time.
That's why reinforcements were needed.
After understanding the situation, Qin Chuan didn't hesitate to speak up, "I'll take care of the level 28 Demon Beast."
Ji Huai glanced at Qin Chuan and cautioned him to "be careful."
Before long, the two who had entered the deepest part of the desolate mountain saw the four Third Rank Demon Beasts and a multitude of lower-ranked Demon Beasts gathered together.
Confronting them were numerous well-equipped Transcendent combat personnel.
Ji Huai let out a shout and immediately charged toward the three lower-strength Third Rank Demon Beasts.
Qin Chuan focused on the level 28 lion-type Demon Beast and sprinted forward.
Transforming into Dark Flame, he dodged the opponent's attack with a flash and, seizing the opportunity, pressed a palm against the creature's shadow.
Shadow Erosion, activated!
Under the astonished gazes of countless humans and Demon Beasts, the level 28 lion-type Demon Beast, whose body not even cannon shells could penetrate, was as fragile as paper in the face of a pitch-black force, entirely dissolved in an instant, leaving not a trace of flesh or blood behind.
In its place was only the figure emerging from the Dark Flame.
